The Institute seeks to make personal change accessible and easy. We want to work with people who want to make changes in the way they communicate with others. Anger is an emotion we usually try to avoid and deny. Sometimes we establish communication styles that seem overbearing or hostile to others. Perhaps we have been told by someone close to us that we have an "anger problem." If you have been noticing a need to change your attitudes or behaviors, self-refer yourself to our program.
If you have been mandated to attend some anger management classes, give us a call. We will assist you and provide appropriate feedback to your mandating authority.

As such, she enjoys meeting people who see needs and opportunities
to change. She is adept at assisting others find creative ways to discover and enjoy the innate talents, energies and skills they
possess.


Anderson and Anderson curriculum and certification training have already been approved by the California State Board of Corrections for the training of probation, parole, and correctional officers in California. To date, no other anger management provider has received this approval. We use the Anderson and Anderson model of anger management in a curriculum that allows adults and young people to look at their lives in a safe, congenial environment. They, together with others in their group, learn easy ways to understand some of the experiences that give rise to their anger and new approaches to channel it assertively.

We arrange for ongoing weekly classes to accommodate our clients. We do sponsor some Saturday workshops from 9am to 3pm, both for adults and teens. We also have opportunity for individual/executive coaching. Our clients cover approximately 26 hours of classroom or workshop material in settings customized to their individual needs.
